My sincere apologies for the Apple device crash. It was very, very difficult to fix.

I know some of you have had a frustrating time losing significant work.

The technical summary is that I use a browser feature called Canvas to do the drawing and storage of your frames. It seems that Apple devices & Safari have a (unspecified) limit on the number of canvases that can be created. If this limit is reached, the browser will hang, refresh or just crash.

Normally, I use developer tools to debug and step into errors. In this case, the crash also crashed the developer tools, making it impossible to know what caused the crashes.

It was a long process of trial and error to rewrite the code in various parts of the editor to see if the problem went away.

Thanks dan! :)

THANK YOU

MY APPLE DEVICE IS SAVED
